Styling sucks. Looks like a cross between a mid 80's Mustang and a new Dodge Charger. YECH!!

Got a friend who's got a 70 3/4 ton 4by with the shiny crome grill that says Chevrolet and the turn lights in the grill.Been trying for years to make a deal on that truck.To no avail but still trying.....grin The 69 & 70 Chevy's were just as good. The 71 & 72's just had a few upgrades besides the different grille. casey

Where are the pictures? I heard of a guy who chased a Firebird up the CT river valley with his Corvette. Corvettes handle better and go faster. (So I hear.)

The tech is old (by today's standards) so they don't have to pay for R&D. What R&D? We've been casting aluminum blocks with steel liners for a few years now. Les.................. 340 Six Pack rocked!!!! You are a might young to remember

Les, I did not get flapjacks this morning, I had to go to the shop and put in half a day on an empty tummy. Yeah, that made me grumpy, but that had nothing to do with Chevy's lack of styling.

I don't care for the front- but I could live with it if it had a 427! I would prefer hideaway headlights like the 69RS- my favorite of all the Camaros. I had a 69 coupe and a real rough 68 SS. My dad just completed his 69 SS- Daytona Yellow/black houndstooth. It's powered by a 350 RamJet crate motor and has an overdrive auto.

With some tweeking on the motor and tranny, it would pull the front end off the ground about 6" ... VERY IMPRESSIVE and would scare the living daylights out of you as a bonus.

That would be fun, although, i would much rather be the guy test driving these machines. I think I have the right temperament.

Back when I worked at the engine plant they brought us three Corvettes and told us to drive em like we stole em. We went out as a group, two hourly and one salary employee with a fourty five minute block of time. I69 is less than a mile from the plant.............. One 'vette hit a deer, another died of a blown tranny. Don't recall how long #3 lasted.

The NY state highway patrol has a bunch of [color:blue][u]Hemi Chargers[/u][/color], and I recently got to see one wind out. A couple of knuckleheads blew by me at, or very near, double the legal limit. Just as they passed, I saw the reflection of the NYS police decals, hiding in the trees. Within a few seconds, that trooper went screaming by, accelerating at a very brisk pace. When the trooper caught up with the Bozos, he had to just about stand the cruiser on its nose, in order to break it down to match their 100+ mph. They move out pretty darned well, for a moderately priced production vehicle.
